Medicines for Justice: a study about judicial appeals in the Tribunais da Relação, between the Portuguese and the Empire of Brazil (c. 1750-c. 1840)

Abstract

This project proposes study the ordinary judicial resources in Portuguese America and firsts decades of the Empire of Brazil in the space of the Tribunais da Relação(Courts of appeal), looking for a broad reflection about Portuguese legal tradition and culture in colonial space, characterized by a multi-ethnic society with rhythms and specific demands. The idea is to map the current conceptions about recourses and their mode of operation, in addition to quantify your occurrence and typologies, as well as the plaintiffs and their locations. The periodization dates back to the Enlightenment reform until the first decades after Independence, when ocurred a new standardisation of resources with the reform of the Code of Criminal Procedure; temporal arc in which ran four Tribunais in Brazil: Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Maranhão and Pernambuco. The project part of the concept of legal culture should be considered together as standardized space of resources vis-à-vis the social dynamics that cannot be reduced only to the parties and their disputes, but involving all the existing structure to justice.
